I am really, really happy (and excited) to announce the upcoming Ticonderoga short story anthology, Dreaming of Djinn is up for pre-order (to be released in April 2013).

I am especially excited because my own short story, Street Dancer, will be included!

Official announcement and story line-up here. Link to pre-order here.

I am in amazing company, and the project is a really exciting one. My own story is futuristic spice-trail steampunk, set within a cultural melting pot of trade and subsequent entertainment, and the heartbreak and love that grows within. It's been awesome to focus on writing again over the past couple of years, since it is one of my primary loves. I'd also like to add an extra thank you to Project Nascent (our writer's group), and all the nights of brownies, chocolate, critique and word counts. You guys are the greatest.

Also a quick reminder that the Losing Altitude Kickstarter is still going.

I have been informed that books will NOT be made available to those who don't pledge - so if you don't pledge and help fund the project over the next two and a half weeks, there will be no chance to purchase the books with the artwork later on! There is an option to pledge for a soft-cover or a hard-cover, and some new artwork has been added. :)

Glen: How do you develop a character?

Me: Um. Well, you think about them a lot. You put them in different situations. You write about them in different scenarios. You pretend you're them because you hate your life so much.

Glen: *ROFL* You should write that in LiveJournal.

Me: It's true. I hate my life that much.
